Matt, who now employs more than 70 people at his construction and demolition firms based in Wrexham, added: “This is such a magical location and amazing building, we knew it would be the perfect venue for weddings.

“We don’t have a history in this sector but we have been to enough good and bad weddings to know what works and what doesn’t.

“We are now recruiting someone experienced to run the wedding side of the site.”

Under the plans for the building the main hall will be transformed (planning permission dependent) into a luxury boutique venue for weddings and conference events.

There will be accommodation for 45 people and wedding parties will be able to take over the whole site for the big day.

During the week the site will also host conferences with activities still on site from its previous use as an outdoor activity centre.

There are also plans for a childrens nursery in a side building.

'Ideal wedding venue'

Matt said: “Our target audience for the weddings and conferences is nationwide and even global.

“We have already had an enquiry from Dubai and several enquiries from London.

“This is such an historic and unique building and also set in wonderful grounds.
